Deep Are the Roots

by Marshall County Bicentennial Commission

Excerpt

This Bicentennial publication, a collection of history as it is available, is a non-profit venture based on interest in the homes of the founding fathers of Marshall and Putnam Counties. The compilation is both a salute to the first settlers and their successors who preserved their heritage, and an endeavor to instill appreciation of the heritage bestowed.

Many persons have been contacted for information concerning the Counties' old homes, their builders and the builders' descendants. Many responses have been received, indicating a general interest in the subject and a willingness to share their knowledge of family treasures.
